David Copperfield (Abridged) Audiobook

" Gave up reading this first time around, but through being nagged Mark Temple, made it at a second attempt . I must admit enjoyed it em mensly The characters are so well written, and the humour is brilliant! One of his best works "

" Part of me hesitates to give this 5 stars, because some of it was sentimental stuff that makes me crazy, but much of it was indeed amazing. I can't remember when I last marked so many lines in a book. I don't think I've ever seen the equal of his descriptions of people and places, and his understanding of people feels deeply true. Plus I found out where the rock group Uriah Heep got its name! "

" Started reading an un-picuted abridged version thinking the original would feel too long. Now that it's been read, curiosity beckons for a future reading of the entire piece. Agreed with reviews of falling for the characters: Love Mr Macawber's peculiar 'pecuniary' interests and long-windedness; Copperfield's compassion and level headedness through rough times; Betsy trotwood's dynamic, no nonsense personality. Couldn't wait to finish the book but then 1/4 of the way from the end I wanted to stay put in 19c England. "

" Definitely one of the ten best books I've ever read. "

" I need to read more Dickens--the guy was an absolute genius. He sees inside and exposes both the darkest and most sublimely spiritual sides of human nature and I walk away from his works a better person--every time. "

" Overall a good read but just a touch too long. "

" I was forced to read this in a Brit Lit class. I think the reasoning was that it was thick and looked impressive but was not so deep it would scorch off the delicate ears of dear little community college students. It was a degrading experience that I can only compare to being forced to watch a boxed set of daytime soaps from the 80's. Ugh! "

" Great novel, thoroughly enjoyable. My only complaint was that the length was hard to get through but the characters where interesting and gripping. I remember swearing in my mind because I was so outraged at the actions I certain characters "

" Overall a good read but just a touch too long. "

" This book was one of the most delightful stories I have ever read. The plot was interesting with the usual twists and turns that come with the Victorian serial novel, the cast of characters were the varied Dickensian gallery of saints and devils, and the undertones of the sea and the inevitability of mortality soak inside the work like water in a sponge. While the book was lengthy, I enjoyed it for the most part. I honestly cannot think of any criticism for this novel (and for me that's saying something!!!!!) so go to the bookstore pick up a copy ASAP (B+N classics has a great copy with good notes and a snazzy cover!!!!) "

" I finally read this tome and can cross it off the list. I feel terrible for slamming such a beloved classic, but goodness, some 19th century authors could use a lot of words when fewer would do. "

" One of my favorites from Charles Dickens. I've heard that this book is at least partially autobiographical, and it would seem to be true, as it feels more personal than any of his other efforts. "

" Being my first Dickens book, i was initially a little naive to to the style, and i found it a little hard to get into for the first hundred pages or so. However, i am so pleased that a persevered with it, because i found myself creating attachments to the characters and truly 'getting into' it! I was surprised by some of the characters portrayal; i'd heard rumours that Dickens portrayed the female characters a boring and pathetic, such as was the social preconceptions at the time. However, Agnes, Little Emily and Rosa Dartle were all in my opinion some of the best characters in the book, with Agnes being a voice of wisdom and intelligence, with Rosa being feisty and independent and Emily having a slightly contraversial story line. I was however dissapointed in David's choice of wife; Dora was pathetic, and somewhat tedious to read about. I was a little dissapointed with the ending because i would have liked to see the horrible Uriah get more of what was coming to him. Despite that, and Dora, this book was excellent and therefore deserves a four out of five (a 4.5 if i could). "

" Bit long, took me forever, but definitely worth it! "

" Great winter read with several highlights. "

" One of my favorite novels for character development as each chapter provides weight. Due to its sheer length the novel can be a real slog in the middle chapters. Fortunately the main characters including Uriah Heep are compelling and interesting enough to wade through. "

" Ahh, I love Dickens. Fantastic story and loveable characters. The only part that left me completely irritated was when David was wooing Dora. She was painfully immature, whiny and ridiculous & it rankled me that he ate it up. Otherwise everything ended all tied up with a bow in standard Dickens style, which being the simple, happy-ending girl I am, made me content. I even loved his usual extreme coincidences he brings into almost every story. In a modern story I don't think an author could get away with it, but it works for me! "

" Amazing. Follow a boy's life from beginning to end, through fortunes and troubles, thesis to anti-thesis to reconciliation. Of course, the author is also a master of language. "

" good enough. skimmed the occasional slow parts. not dicken's best. "

" I've wanted for a while now to read this book simply because I know that reading a 800 page book would be a big accomplishment for me. It's not really that I want to get anything out of a classic story such as this, but that I will be more on the same page with people who read. In reading I'm learning and in learning my brain is chewing this stuff up and getting wiser. So far I think I'm doing ok with the book. It's a challenge to read as sometimes I'm reading and get ahead of myself and get lost in what Charles Dickens is trying to say. As I'm reading this book I will be reading other books simply because I know that this book is long and has a wide variety of transitions. I hope to finish this book before the due date for reading 25 books before the new year approaches. It's a challenge I'm willing and ready to take. "

" Despite the wide availability of PBS/Beeb versions of nearly every Dickens novel under the sun, I am proud to say I resisted the temptation to crib by watching first and reading later, and hit the book first with this one. And it was worth it...classic for a reason! And how glad am I that I waited until after college for it?! (During school, it seemed like I could only see the musty dustiness of Dickens...but as a voluntary adult reader, completely different, and much much better!) "

" I'd like to make a joke about magic here, but Charles Dickens just doesn't deserve it "

" Good tale about a boy's journey and what he goes through to finally mature and figure out the secrets of life. One can relate to David as his experiences are similar to those of which all have gone through. The use of language was at times a bit too flowery and rambling for my taste (but, hey, that's Dickens). "

" This, like all of Dickens work, is a great novel. Something is a little different in this one though. The plot feels less grounded and more random. You don't look for that "great payout" to figure some key missing piece of data at the end. I don't know, it just feels like a tale of an average gentleman's life. The "climax" doesn't feel as meaningful as it does in most of Dickens' other work. That's not to say this is a bad novel. It's not at all. It's interesting and filled with wonderful and horrible characters. If you like Dickens, give this a read, it's one of his classics. If you don't like Dickens this won't change your mind. "

" My favorite novel. Have re-read four times. The ending still sends me into ecstasy! "

" This book is one of my favorite books by Dickens. I felt that it really showed his personal life, but with fictional aspects to it. The story was full of romance, action and mystery. It may have been a long book, but it was definitely worth reading. "

" For Dickens lovers.... A good read into historical times. "

" I feel like Dickens is a little uncool today because of his brazen sentimentality and crowd-pleasing tendencies. But the quality of the writing and plotting is always really high and, well, a little sentimentality and crowd-pleasing never killed anybody. Not as ambitious as Bleak House, so I won't give it the full 5, but almost everything here works except the unnecessarily rushed resolution. "

" This book was incredible. I laughed, I cried, I cringed. I felt so many emotions on this book. It was truly beautiful. "

" Great book by one of the best all time authors "

" Dickens' shouldn't be a forced read, but taken at a leisurely pace. If you don't go in with great expectations in mind, and read like it with a touch of realism in mind, it's well worth the time. "

" I really enjoyed this book. More than I had expected, in fact. The portrayal of abusive personality types and institutions, and their effects on individuals and communities was, I thought, particularly inspired. "

" The first time I read this book I fell utterly, completely, head-over-heels, in love with David Copperfield. And as a result was roundly teased by my sisters for many years! Although my ardor may have diminished over the years, it has never quite faded. The compelling thing for me about this book is the intense detail of characterization, and the way in which, more than any of his other novels, it has the feel of Dickens' own autobiography. I feel like this is the life Dickens imagined himself leading - a life of gentle joys and quiet observation, in which despite the tears and losses along the way, a happy home is found in the end. For tragedy and drama Oliver Twist or A Tale of Two Cities are where Dickens shines best, but for emotional connection, David Copperfield will always be my favorite. "

" It was perfect. There was no climax that kept me from putting down the book and for some reason, that was perfect. It's a life story and it flows like life. The drama feels real, not overdone. It was fantastic. That's all I can really say. "

" In my opinion.....the greatest book ever written! "

" I am beginning to understand the word 'Masterpiece'. Listened to the unabridged audio book narrated by Simon Vance - simply mesmerizing. "

" I loved this book, especially the second half. This was Charles Dickens' favorite of his novels and his most autobiographical. I loved the memorable characters: Aunt Betsey, Peggoty, Ham, Agnes, and Traddles. I told Isaac (age 18) that this book is better than Great Expectations (his all-time favorite novel) but he doesn't believe me. I love how this book has so much to say about marriage: Clara and Mr. Murdstone (obviously an example of a horrible marriage), Peggoty and Barkis, Traddles and Sophy (so sweet! poor but happy and hard-working newlyweds), David and Dora (oops -- he realized he picked someone without much substance, but he loved her and was true to her anyway), Emily and Ham's engagement (poor Emily learns too late the lesson taught in so many great classic novels: marry the honest, hard-working boy-next-door instead of the handsome arrogant man who sweeps you off your feet), Mr. and Mrs. Micawber (definite comic relief -- and such a loyal wife), and of course David and Agnes. What a powerful book! Favorite quotes: "I think of every little trifle between me and Dora, and feel the truth, that trifles make the sum of life." --chapter LIII "Ever pointing upward, Agnes ; ever leading me to something better ; ever directing me to higher things!...all my life long I shall look up to you, and be guided by you, as I have been through the darkness that is past..." --chapter LX "Miss Mills replied, on general principles, that the Cottage of content was better than the Palace of cold splendour, and that where love was, all was." --chapter XXXVII "Never," said my aunt, "be mean in anything; never be false; never be cruel. Avoid those three vices, Trot, and I can always be hopeful of you." --chapter XV "Some happy talent, and some fortunate opportunity, may form the two sides of the ladder on which some men mount, but the rounds of that ladder must be made of stuff to stand wear and tear; and there is no substitute for thorough-going, ardent, and sincere earnestness." --chapter LXII " . . . Ride on! Rough-shod if need be, smooth-shod if that will do, but ride on! Ride on over all obstacles, and win the race!" --chapter XXVIII "I never could have done what I have done, without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one object at a time...My meaning simply is, that whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do well; that whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to completely; that in great aims and in small, I have always been thoroughly in earnest." --Chapter LXII "

" A great book about the trials and tribulations of a sauntering-like boy's life. "

" My wife and I tried to read it twice and just found it wasn't an enjoyable read right before bed. So we gave up. "

" It was a little hard to get into at first, but was so worth it once I did. No wonder it's one of Dicken's greatest "

" Really engaging sorry and I felt sorry for the main character. "

" An excellent book! At first, I was wary about the length of this read; it is considerably long. However it captured my interest from the very first page and kept it to the very end. I'm very impressed. "

" This book was saturating. I could see every alley and boarding house room Dickens describes. "

" It is a good read. It's better than Oliver Twist in my opinion, and holds some realistic sentiment and human emotion "

" it was very wonderful experience reading this book "

" it was very wonderful experience reading this book "

" I am a Biblio-Audiophile and I love listening to Dickens' books much more than I enjoy reading them in the traditional sense. David Copperfield was so enjoyable! Dickens' refers to this book with the following quotation: 'Like so many fond parents I have in my heart of hearts a favourite child,and his name is David Copperfield.' It is a bildingsroman - a true "coming-of-age" story and somewhat parallels Dickens' own life. Highly recommend it. "

" it was very wonderful experience reading this book "

" This is the second time I've read this book, and it is even better than I remembered. Thank God for Dickens! "

" An amazing book. Lots of words though. "

" Absolutely loved this book. A wonderful study of marriage, friendship, honor, and how to deal with the curve ball that life throws our way. "

" David Copperfield is my favorite of the Dickens' books so far. "

" Not my favorite by Charles Dickens, but I love his writing. "

" This was difficult to read. It took a while to get all the way through it. However, it was a good story and was definitely interesting to read. "

" prachtige schrijfstijl, soms grappig, maar niet zo hylarisch als Henry Fielding, soms wel wat te langdradig, de laatste 2-300 bladzijden was een heel klein beetje worstelen "

" Not quite as good as Tale of Two Cities, but this is the one that made me fall in love with Dickens' literature. "

" Dickens always had a purpose for bringing characters into the story, i enjoyed trying to figure out how they would play into the story later. "

" I really should re-read this but don't feel drawn to do so now. My first reading was as an assignment in HS. While I really did read it, I didn't yet possess the emotional maturity to understand the pathos involved. Date finished was earlier than my graduation date (approximated as date finished). "

" I love this, as I do most of Dickens'. I love to lose myself in the world as it was then. "

" Took way too long to finish. Dragged on! I like CD too. "

" One of my favorite re-reads of the last few years. How had I forgotten just how terrible Uriah Heep is? And how much I love Barkis? "

" The second novel I ever read. Age 8-9. Ah Childhood! "

" I really enjoyed Dickens and appreciated the biographical connections pointed out as we went through the book "

" This book had its dry spots at times, but it is undeniable the talent of Charles Dickens. He is able to relay so much to the story without being too dense in his word usage. A true writer of the people for the people. "

" I am really enjoying reading Charles Dickens these days. I guess a little maturity & moving away from the endless nit-picking of literature classes has helped tremendously. "

" I read this aloud in English class in Grade 8!!! Only 3 students in the class could read in English... the rest of the students still have no idea what this book is about! Thanks, Mlle Pelletier for introducing me to great literature! "

" How could you not love David Copperfield? Funny and clever, as expected. "

" this is one of my favorites, although it is devistatingly sad. "

" This was on my 100-classics-to-read list. Dickens is a master. His stories are timeless. This is because of his exceptional ability to create characters that resonate broadly, including fabulous villians. David Copperfield is not my favorite of his stories, but nonetheless worth the time to read. "

" Loved it, it's not fast paced but there was enough going on to keep me interested all the way through. "

" It was wonderful! Completely wonderful! I know I haven't read all that much Dickens yet, just the other two "poor boy makes good" books, and A Christmas Carol, but this just has to be his best work. I realize I'm not being very descriptive, but it's just... WOW "

" This book is very interesting. I really enjoyed when i was reading it. it's also dikens's favorite novel.The whole story is based on a boy David. He had an unhappy childhood but an interesting journey of life. i love to read it again. "

" I'm ashamed to say, I tried diligently to read this and couldn't finish. Any thoughts? "

" Definitely one of the ten best books I've ever read. "

" Oh so agonizingly slow. Could not finish. "

" It's taken me months to finish this, and it's well worth it. The characters have gotten close to my heart, as if I had known them personally. Here's to commemorating Charles Dickens' 200th year! "

" Hmm, hard to rate. I love the way Dickens can write and describe characters. He can describe a scene so you see it in your mind and feel for the characters! But this book is so long that I lost my concentration... "

" Having now read the 14 completed Dickens novels this one is at the top for me. As ever, the characters are wonderful, humourous, larger than laugh, but there were several episodes here which brought tears to my eyes! "

" I was about twenty when I read this book. It was very dense and I could not understand what was going on. Then I wanted to read it because both my parents read it in school and I thought I ought to give it a try. I am now way over twenty yo and I will challenge myself to read it again. "

" I like to spend time reading Charles Dickens' books, he's one of my favorite writers :). "

" Finished this and like all other Dickens, loved it from beginning to end. I just knocked off a star due to his wordiness. Less would have been more, but how many perfect books can one person write in a lifetime? "

" I honestly don't know why I like this book so much, not a great deal of plot per se, just a life story of a fairly normal but good person. I just kept finding myself drawn to each character and event. This book is somewhat ofan undertaking for me who is not much of a reader but well worth the read. "

" The plot was fairly predictable, but I felt like the plot was just a means to create some fantastic characters. There were some really beautiful moments, too. "
